King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Balrog Lyrics

that riff is legendary in lord of lightning

this song has some big dorohedoro energy.

RIP Ben Shelburne

get outta here eric

Joeys face at the end always makes me laugh

Everybody gangsta till Stu pulls out a flute

Lighting... Eyyyyup

SO FUCKING GOOD. inspired all my Stanford essays. Delta S > 0.

I want to be reincarnated as an Aussie.

The premier rock band of the twenty first century. Best harmonica based band of all time.

1:55 Ambrose just being a creepy rock-dweller

I like this band but I think they may be nerds

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog, yep!

You made the atom split
It caused a massive rift
And he came screaming through
Here to bite the head from you

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog, yep, oh!

Balrog fears not the Lightning Lord
He's fixed on us, has him ignored

Feel a tingle
Rolling up your left arm when you
Think of evil
Lurking in the darkness where you
Shine your eyesight
Something tells you this is not right
Take some advice
Have you heard the murmurings of

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, yep, oh!

You caused a massive rift
You made the atom split
And it came screaming through
Here to bite the head off you

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog

I build the bravery to sneak a glimpse at it's expression
And beyond the flames I see him smirk at our present depression
I fear that God's a chef and he's thrown us into a great pot
He is here, fully formed, and glowing red and lapis hot

Heated menace
Comes to gouge the heart out from us
Blazing zealot
Preaching on the apocalypse
I don't want to
Submit to his awful torture
Save me from him
Have you heard the murmurings of

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, oh!

Skin begins to burn
There's nowhere we can turn
There's no way we can win
The devil puppets him
His pyre muscles flex
We are his next subjects
His power has us floored
Kneel before the overlord

Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, yes, oh!

For them, the future was as laid out as the burnt path he swathe
And so the damned remaining lot knelt before the red Behemoth
And as they prepared for afterlife there appeared the endemic monstrosity
The Lighting Lord is back and charged the Balrog with animosity
Furious he pummeled his breast, and a blaze alit the heavens
The stage was set for war, and to the Balrog, the Lord's finger beckoned

"Lord of Lightning Shifts his Gays"

60k views away from greatness

Rattlesnake but no word is repeated

this is fuckint lit im high asf fuck watch this bruh

I wish I could find a Hagstrom 12 string in the woods of Endor.

Try hard? Not hard enough? Chicago? Delon?

This is what happens when you give Australians music privileges

someone must make a animation out of this...

1:40 electricity is gay

Man these dudes are amazing

EEEEYYUUP

Reminds me of the band Peach and Suns of the Tundra (Changed their name later)

This should have moar views than snek. Awww flightless birb in 168 shop is very cute.

Dude how many times do I have to like this fucking video

4:59 eric stick flip

When you sync the video up with the vinyl 🔥

Ooh actually this video is a little faster than the record. Still works well enough.

This is insane....

I thought this was a parody, but then I realized everything else was the parody.

True Kings

Que doideira do caralho

You guys edited Ambrose on the keyboard

I love it so muchhhhh

well that was epic

Having tempo troubles with what if so I had to come back here

Took me way too long to realize you guys had two drummers how does one miss that

Tempo seems fine tbh

I think I'm having a seizure

Holy fuckin shit

The king gizzard and the lizard Wizard cinematic universe

this is shot like a black metal video except for the color

Where was this recoded

Nobody:
Stu Mackenzie: YEP

Beautiful, gripping, compelling! Brought me to my knees!

Legendary

Crazy shit this guys...awesome!

EPIC WINNER A CG

Also, imagine how fucking amazing it would be if Felix Colgrave partnered up with these guys to give their songs crazy visuals to match

I personally believe this is King Gizzard’s Magnum Opus.

One song to rule them all, one song to find them.

Take magnesium before watch!

oh my god ambrose looks like tommy wiseaou in this music video and now i can't unsee it

had a seizure but it was worth it

This sounds like the title to a D&D game

Where are red suits and helmets?

Actually amazing

Kinda wish this song had a separate very high budget music video that better describe the events of the song, just imagine how epic it could be

Dude I keep thinking of like an animated video of balrog and the lord of lighting fighting with guitars and drums and shit. If you're reading this and you can animate please use your skills and do this, it needs to be done.

@Morrissey Gere I can't animate :p but that would be dope

Is this a reference to Lord of the rings

They’re talent exceeds proficiency foreal👀😍

I AM THE LORD OF LIGHTNING!

Do you want to know what's the issue with King Gizzard?





Everybody's talking about Greta Van Fleet

Great Song!

The Balrog hatched from that egg after those travelers awakened it. Altered Beast is the Balrog as is the people vulture as altered beast is a human creature hybrid. Some context is played using the intro to people vultures because it's giving some context to nonagon infinity which is the album that is on. The context is that the fight between the Lord of Lightning and the Balrog caused nonagon infinity. Han Tyumi altered the infinite loop of the apocalypse.

No one is talking about lord of the rings here, Jesus Christ

Got tickets for the Greek theater show in LA, My son got me into this band. I'm fucking blown away.

I love how a comically bad music video slowly turns into a really good music video.... but it’s still hilarious the whole way through.

50 easter eggs you didn't notice in The Lord Of Lightning vs Balrog!!

Oh snap..

L i g h t n i n g

Dark Souls lore is more complicated then I remember.

What guitar is that 12 string he plays

Lngsht en el bajo y max chinasky en los sintetizadores

Plugging your guitar into the leafs.

i like that lil zoom on his ankle at 6:18

lord of lightning shifts his gays 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

So wait, I have a question. Is People-Vultures actually the Balrog? These are important issues.

Do not let anyone tell you that Rock n Roll is dead !!!

Looks like cavs forgot the sticks at home and they were like fuck it use branches

I’m having a Caesar right now. I love them with a big celery stalk!

Best Acid Rock band since Robin Trower. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard fucking ROCK!
\m/ \m/

LORD GIZ

If you feel you might be susceptible to awesome, do not watch this video

I wonder if this counts as a lotr reference

all these stories behind the song's lyrics really happens in Australia

This whole album reminds me of Wizards.

The Ralph Bakshi movie, Wizards?

acid?

*.:))

121 people can't cast shadows on flowing lava

Holy fucking shit. This is MOTHERFUCKINGUNWATCABLE TERRIBLE! I love it.

Gandalf vs the Balrog?

With the lord of lightning song, am I the only one who pictures a giant naked blue titan with a big o'l erection ejaculating lightning over a city like a an awesome smutty Godzilla?

Drugs are awesome.

The moment that 12 string emerges over the mountain sends chills down my spine
